October 2, 2025 – One Month In: Grace in the Everyday
It’s been a month since I began my journey as rector of St Alban’s, and what a month it’s been.

September 26, 2025 – A Friday of Presence and Prayer
At St. Alban’s, our Friday sit-down lunch is more than a meal, it’s a space of welcome. People come not only for food, but for connection.

September 23, 2025 – A Tuesday Evening of Listening and Grace
Tonight I returned to our Tuesday community meal, a space that continues to reveal the quiet beauty of presence and the deep ache of unmet needs. Though the meal is served as take-out, what we’re building is unmistakably a community. As long as there is conversation, hospitality, and welcome, there is connection. And tonight, that… Continue reading

September 22, 2025 – A Blessing Already in Motion
This past Saturday, I was invited by a young couple to bless their new home. They had recently moved into our neighborhood, and their invitation touched me deeply.
